Naafiri vs Ahri

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri aims to chip Ahri with Q poke before committing to all-ins using W and R-enhanced chase.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ahri safe scaling and punish her cooldowns without overextending.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing Q to apply bleed, then commit with W and E only if Ahri's Ahri E or mobility is spent.
Avoid using W into Ahri's Ahri E or multiple blockers to prevent being punished.
Use R to enhance chase on isolated or low-health Ahri after successful Q poke.

Danger windows

Ahri is most dangerous when Ahri E is available and Ahri R is up.
Avoid committing W when Ahri E or Ahri R can punish or escape.
Punish Ahri when she misses Ahri E or uses Ahri R defensively and it is on cooldown.

Early game

Use Q to poke Ahri early and avoid committing with W until her Ahri E or Ahri R is down.
Avoid all-ins when the wave traps you or Ahri E is available to punish.
Track Ahri's Ahri E cooldown to find safer windows for W engages.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R significantly increases all-in and chase potential.
First lethality item completion boosts Q poke and burst threat.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R, which enables her to extend or escape fights safely.

Win conditions

Win by landing consistent Q poke to lower Ahri's health, then use R-enhanced W engages on isolated targets.
Punish Ahri's cooldowns on Ahri E and Ahri R to force favorable trades.
Deny Ahri calm scaling by maintaining lane pressure and preventing safe roams or wave control.

Tip: For Naafiri vs Ahri, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
